[Sportsandrec] Goalball and soreness [No Protective Marking][SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Lisamaria Martinez, NOMC]

Joe, wear pads. I wear baseball knee pads and elbow pads. They have a hole 
in the area where your knee and elbow bend so you have a bit more 
flexibility, I think. As for hip pads, I've worn anything from towels tucked 
into my pants to hockey shorts with padding. Wear the pads, you'll last 
longer.
